Unlike some rivals the new Lambo will not feature a DSG transmission because it would be “too complex and too expensive” to engineer. Instead, the new Murcielago may come with the option of a sequential seven-speed manual, with a more conventional seven-speed paddle shift as standard. A traditional open gate manual will almost certainly not be available this time round.

Well, I'm betting it will have a twin-clutch manual. The tech is already well tested inside the Audi group in a heap of different things, and it's one of the biggest ways to get the cars to record lower results on the Euro combined/city cycle testing (CO2/km and L/100 etc), as the test rules treat these trannys as 'automatics' giving a much more favourable result over full-manual 'boxes by allowing the test to be run in whatever gear the box selects in 'D' (ie- the highest gear possible). The CO2 thing is a huge deal in Europe and the UK (cars pay annual roadtax according to CO2 per km output in the UK and elsewhere), so I can't see them not going down that road.

yeah beacuse 700hp in rwd is a sensible idea....... sure they may be the odd company putting that amount of power in a rwd car (such as zonda) but if they want it to have good performance on paper as well as not have lots of them wrapped around trees they will stick with the awd platform that they know and trust.

hopefully they bring out RWD version

my new favourite Lamborghini is the LP550-2 Valentino balboni

why would you want a RWD version if they give awd? how will you be able to utilise over 700hp? you could do with half that hp in rwd and still reach the same numbers of 0-100 times ect....

If anything it should be awd and maybe have an option to turn the front power off for show boating, but really asif you couldn't make some awesome wheel spin with all 4 wheels with 700hp anyway...

Yeah, would be 4189412972410 x hotter without the dodgy looking door :lol:

depending when they decide to release it, and for all we know all the exterior pannels could change by then....

anyway i dont think the doors look ugly, sure they maybe eccentric.... but christ sake its a lambo, since when do they look decent? They look awesome in their own lamborghini type of way that no other car company could get away with...

i can only imagine that "horrible door shit" feeds some monster air intake or intercooler... therefore it has purpose, so who gives a f#$k what it looks like..

Right on :D

can say something bout the doors but will turn more heads than anything on the road pretty much. the styling might be for functional purposes which is why it looks weird at the best of times but people will take notice of it more than say a HSV with some lumpy cams or a WRX with a big wing on the back, the cars silhoute is menacing enough.

      V37 Suspension change

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
